The Bulldogs were coming off a record performance in threes in the Tuesday night win over NCOE, and looked to be out to break that in less than a week.

Dylan Rankin came down the court and popped a three to start the 'Dogs off. Andy Vaughan came right back on the next possession and duplicated Rankin's effort.

But Johnston City tightened up the defense a bit and put a stop to that trend.

The Indians kept the pace with the Bulldogs, scoring a pair of three as well in the first and after the time expired, CWC's lead after one was 15-13.

In the second quarter, the teams again went back and forth, with both scoring ten and keeping it a two-point game at the half in favor of CWC, 25-23.

Then in the third quarter, Mr. Vaughan made his presence known.

Vaughan led the Bulldogs in the third, scoring 10 of the teams 20 points in the quarter. Johnston City had a decent quarter as well, but only scored 16, and CWC took the six-point, 45-39 lead into the final period.

In the fourth quarter, Chase Sailer came up big for the Bulldogs to seal the win, going seven of eight from the free-throw line and locking up a 65-53 win for CWC.

Vaughan led the Bulldogs with 23 points in the game. Other scorers were Sailer with 14, Brodie Brown with 11, Jamey Steed with 11 and Rankin with six.

The junior varsity team also won its game, 56-31. Joe Matz led the team with 12 points.

The Bulldogs travel to Hamilton County Friday night and host Gallatin County on Saturday night.
